Game Room Specialist
Time Working with the Y
Leadership Training
The years I have spent working with the YMCA
community began with a leadership program
my freshman year of school. The program
instilled essential values to be successful in
improving the surrounding community as a
future leader. YMCA promotes a healthy spirit,
body, and mind, and provides many with a
guideline for future endeavors.
Junior Basketball Counselor
Following my year as a successful leader in
training, I secured a position as a Basketball
Counselor who (with the assistance of a Senior
Advisor) created drills, conditioning, and skills
essential to the sport.
The camp was open to
all ages, so the activities
had to be split
accordingly by height
and age. Camp at the
YMCA Topanemus runs nine weeks, which I
worked all of.
After my first year doing basketball, I took a
dramatic turn in my position at the YMCA by
accepting a position as a Specialist. These are
some of the only individuals on the property
given long-range walkies in order to relay
important information and be available for
emergency. As the game room specialist, I was
mostly responsible for coming up with
challenges and tournaments for the campers.
These could range from physical sport
challenges, to mental tournaments such as
chess. Being a promoter of health and exercise
science, I was equipped with a cooler full of pre
prepared meals every day. I spread my
influence and knowledge onto campers, and
would occasionally bring in recipes if requested.

Senior Counselor 
My recent several years at the YMCA Camp
Topanemus have been as a Senior Counselor for
grades 6-8. I monitor them throughout the day,
and on Thursday we would take a bus to various
locations around the area. I was always
influential upon
nutritional options
during these trips, and
encouraged my
campers to bring lunch
rather than buy fast
food and ice cream.
Having worked here for
almost 5 years, I have
formed a bond with
nearly 100 campers.
These campers have a certain trust formed with
me where they mimic and reflect my actions to
their own behavior. I wish to continue
implementing Leadership skills and corrective
life habits in a future career in the field of
Physical Therapy.
Functional Movement Analysis
Junior year of college I was involved
in a semester long assessment of my personal
body functionality in terms of range of
motion, gait analysis, and overall kinetic
motion. Numerous tests were used in the
process, and there was an analysis of
physically impairing medical conditions that
may affect results. By the end of an overhead
squat assessment, gait analysis, and other
range of motion exams, I was able to diagnose
myself with an excessive lordosis of the
lumbar spine. I was also able to discover
limits to internal rotation
and flexion of my right
shoulder complex.
To remedy the
problems, it was part of
my studies to construct a
corrective program for
my impairments. My
excessive lordosis could
be tracked back to improper core workout
during grade
school that put
stress on my
illiopsoas.
Exercises to fix
the problem
include planks,
reverse leg curls,
and core
stabilizing exercises incorporating balance.
